Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

Raspberry Pi is well known as the perfect board for learning, coding, and creating your own projects. In celebration of The Raspberry Pi Foundation fourth birthday, Raspberry Pi 3 is released.

The Raspberry Pi 3 has included integrated 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth Classical and LE. You didn’t need additional peripherals to make it wireless. It is 10x the performance of Raspberry Pi 1.
